Burlesque 2/5Although this soundtrack (to a film apparently pitched as a pre-watershed Showgirls: The Musical) contains Cher’s first new song for eight years, it’s really Aguilera’s show, with her leading on eight of the album’s 10 tracks. Within the context of an unpasteurised cinematic cheesefest, they probably sound just fabulous. Shorn of that, there’s little worth getting excited about.
